The READIN Family Album
Me and Sylvia, walkin' down the line (May 2005)

READIN

Jeremy's journal

Decide that you like college life. In your dorm you meet many nice people. Some are smarter than you. And some, you notice, are dumber than you. You will continue, unfortunately, to view the world in exactly these terms for the rest of your life.

— Lorrie Moore

READIN

READIN started out as a place for me to keep track of what I am reading, and to learn (slowly, slowly) how to design a web site.

There has been some mission drift here and there, but in general that's still what it is. Some of the main things I write about here are reading books, listening to (and playing) music, and watching the movies. Also I write about the work I do with my hands and with my head; and of course about bringing up Sylvia.

The site is a bit of a work in progress. New features will come on-line now and then; and you will occasionally get error messages in place of the blog, for the forseeable future. Cut me some slack, I'm just doing it for fun! And if you see an error message you think I should know about, please drop me a line. READIN source code is PHP and CSS, and available on request, in case you want to see how it works.

See my reading list for what I'm interested in this year.

READIN has been visited approximately 236,737 times since October, 2007.

I laugh hard every time I look at this billboard modification of Banksy's, from Sunset Boulevard:(via The Wooster Collective)

(The original billboard is advertising a restaurant/nightclub chain in Las Vegas)

...Inside the Movies reports on Banksy's trouble with the Academy.

What's of interest:

➪ In the Wall Street Journal, Stephen Greenblatt speculates on Shakespeare's editorial process; meanwhile the blogger at Little Bits of Ice is speculating about Shakespeare's motivations.
➪ Scott Mc­Lemee of Inside Higher Ed writes about the King James Bible and about David Crystal's new analysis of its language, and about James Agee's use of the book of Sirach. 2011 is the 400th anniversary of the translation.
